Alimony in Macon, Georgia

Alimony may be given to a spouse if that spouse is not guilty of desertion or adultery. When deciding alimony, the court will look into marital conduct, participation each party had to the marital estate; the length of the marriage; the future financial resources of each party; the age and health of each spouse; the future earning ability of each party; the net worth of each spouse’s separate assets; the standard of living sustained during the marriage; and rehabilitative time one spouse may need to gain employment. Alimony in Macon, Georgia is either "rehabilitative" or "permanent". Alimony is money for support given to a party by the other party. Alimony may be for a short or long time. Generally alimony is granted by the judge only when a long term marriage ends. The other spouse should be able to pay alimony if the judge is to grant alimony to the other party. Alimony may also be granted short-term before a final divorce decree is awarded. Alimony, also referred to as “spousal support” or “maintenance,” is designed to help a lower-earning spouse make it through the divorce and to start a new single life. Based on the length of the marriage and the degree to which one spouse was financially dependent on the other, support can last for a long time.
